About this map

The agricultural heart of Logan and DeWitt counties unfolds across this survey, centered on the unincorporated community of Beason and the nearby settlement of Midland City. A rigid grid of township roads, such as 1500th St and 2100th St, organizes the landscape, punctuated by small family and community burial grounds that reveal the deep-rooted genealogy of the region. Notable sites include Blue Grass Cem and Jolly Cem, which sit near the meandering course of Kickapoo Cr.

Transitioning from the open fields, the map shows Tabor at a rural crossroads, while infrastructure like the Hoblit Farms Airport and the local Post Office in Beason serve as vital nodes for the area's residents. The drainage patterns of Deer Cr and Clear Cr break the geometric symmetry of the farmland, providing natural landmarks among the numerous numbered county roads that define modern rural Illinois life.
